Commercial Construction Frequently Asked Questions

Over 45 years of commercial construction in Volusia and Flagler Counties, we've heard — and answered — nearly every question owners ask about their projects. Here are the most common ones.

Common Questions

How do I choose a commercial general contractor?
Look for a licensed, insured contractor with demonstrated experience in your project type, strong local subcontractor relationships, owner references you can actually call, and a philosophy that aligns with yours. Bomar's CGC 1517931 license and 45-year track record provide strong credentials to evaluate against.
What is a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) contract?
A GMP contract sets a ceiling on the owner's cost liability. The contractor assumes risk for costs above the GMP. If the project comes in below the GMP, the savings may be shared per the contract terms. GMP contracts are common in construction management and design-build delivery.
What insurance does a commercial contractor need?
A commercial general contractor should carry general liability insurance (typically $1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate), workers' compensation, and automobile liability. Bomar maintains all required insurance coverages.
What is a construction lien in Florida?
A construction lien (mechanic's lien) is a legal claim against a property filed by a contractor, subcontractor, or material supplier who has not been paid for work performed. Florida has specific requirements for notices, timelines, and filings. Working with a reputable general contractor who manages subcontractor payments properly is the best protection.
How does Bomar handle subcontractor selection?
We maintain long-standing relationships with qualified local subcontractors and rigorously pre-qualify new ones. We check licenses, insurance, references, and financial stability before awarding subcontracts.
Does Bomar Construction do work outside Volusia and Flagler Counties?
Our primary focus is Volusia and Flagler Counties, where the majority of our work is generated. We do consider work in adjacent Central Florida counties, particularly for established clients.
